- To create favorable conditions for activities in Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park.

- To exploit to the utmost the park's conditions in geographical location and landscape; create an attractive environment for investment; and minimize expenses for investment in technical infrastructure.

- To create a legal setting for the execution of construction investment projects as well as planning and construction management in the hi-tech park.

- Based on norms on the use of land and technical infrastructure and demands for an advanced and modern hi-tech park, to review and adjust the location, boundaries and land areas of functional zones and infrastructure works so as to meet development demands and concurrently suit management requirements in the immediate future as well as in the long term.

- For areas under construction, the approved planning must be strictly observed.

- For areas where construction is not yet commenced, detailed plannings must be amended so as to suit this adjustment.

4. Research requirements

- To analyze and evaluate the approved general planning and its implementation; and the practical socio-economic issues, population, labor, land use, construction, social and technical infrastructure and environmental sanitation in the area.

- On the basis of new elements, to clearly determine inter-regional relations of Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park and its functional zones, population and land areas.

- To study and select the optimum plan on division of functional quarters and the land-use plan.

- To propose major econo-technical norms compatible with the particular characteristics of each functional zone in each development period of the hi-tech park.

- To set orientations for spatial development of the whole hi-tech park.

- To set orientations for development of technical infrastructure systems.

- To determine items and projects prioritized for investment and make their capital plans.

- To draft a regulation on construction management according to the general planning on Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park.

5. Major norms of the scheme

To base mainly on standards and procedures set by the Vietnamese State. In the course of formulating the adjusted general planning, on the basis of reviewing experience gained from the construction of hi-tech parks in the world, to propose particular econo-technical norms suitable to the characteristics and requirements of each functional quarter and the whole hi-tech park, and to Vietnam's conditions.

6. Major functional quarters

On the basis of the approved general planning, to study and propose the setting up of major functional quarters so as to meet objectives and nature of Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park as stated in this adjusted planning, specifically:

- R&D centers, human resource training and development establishments, national key laboratories, and hi-tech enterprise nurseries.

- Software parks in service of the software industry nursery and development as well as the production of, and trade in, software products.
